On UWC Day, on the banks of our beautiful Norwegian fjord, celebrating the UN International Day of Peace, we came together as a community to host our patron, Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway, philosophers and politicians to explore together how, through education, we can “Shape a sustainable future”.
On this day, Thor Inge Sveinsvoll and Anne Bergh, respectively, President and General Secretary of the Norwegian Red Cross, told our community about the urgent global humanitarian challenge that the Red Cross / Red Crescent Society is working to address and Professor Henrik Syse, of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, challenged us to consider our moral obligation to work together with one common and shared purpose. On this day, we dined together with Her Majesty, enjoying locally sourced and sustainable food and celebrated the potential of our students, with a concert entitled, “An Elegy to the Earth”.
On this day, 18 UWC schools and colleges launched a collaborative webpage, supported by the UWC International Office and led by UWC Robert Bosch. Our aim is to work together across the movement by establishing a central communication platform where we will share the actions we are taking to combat climate change.
Therefore, we proudly present to all our friends, students, staff, and partners the UWC Sustainability website!
